Abstract excerpt
Plasmid partition systems require site-specific DNA binding proteins to recognize the plasmid partition site, or centromere. When bound to the centromere, these proteins, typically called ParB, interact with the ParA ATPases, which in turn promote the proper positioning of plasmids prior to cell division. P1 ParB is a typical member of a major class of ParB-like proteins that are dimeric helix-turn-helix DNA...
